Acts 16:16-18

16 It happened that as we were going to ¹the place of prayer, a slave-girl having ²a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

17 Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of ³the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

18 She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you ⁴in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.
